Thousands of Jews are gathering this week at the burial site of Sarah and Avraham, reflecting on their enduring legacy as national parents. Rabbi Dr. Kenneth Brander explores how the lives of Avraham, Moshe, and David illustrate different approaches to balancing leadership with family responsibilities. While Moshe's devotion to his people came at the cost of his relationship with his children, Avraham is portrayed as a model of balance, tending both to his community and his family's needs. David, meanwhile, is depicted as reactive rather than proactive in his family life, leading to mixed outcomes. The article concludes that the endurance of one's legacy depends not only on public service but also on the investment made in family, emphasizing that prioritizing family is essential for the continuity of cherished values.
